RECORD FIRST ALBUM
Music students fulfilling dream By Dan Bennett Everyone has dreams they would like to fulfill, and goals they hope to achieve. In many cases it may be years before these can be realized . Two Palomar students hope they m ay be on the way to rea lizing theirs. Joe Mersch and Ca rol Wallace have been singing together for years. Alumni of Orange Glen High School, they were active in the school's Theatre Department. They sing for ch urch groups, local restaurants, and various organizations, their hard work a nd dedication h as now given them a well deserved opportunity - the recording of their own a lbum. Tentatively titled Summer, Winter, it is being recorded at the Stan Ferris studi o in San Diego.
Mersch tells how the recording came about, "Ro n Com pton , who owns the studio, wanted to find a group, record them , and try to sell the record to a major label. A mu sician for the studio, Dave Pollard, played with us on one of our outings. He recommended us to Ron, we made a demo tape , a nd he liked it." Mersch and Wa ll ace sing "folk jazz with a Christian¡ theme. " Mersch plays guitar on the a lbum , and they have written a ll their own material. As well as his guitar they will have the sounds of a bassist, a drumm er , a pianist, another guitar and possibly a synthesizer. "The objective," he says, "is to eve ntually sell the record to a major label. There are many Christian labels we hope to interest." In the meantime, they hope to sell the
record to bookstores, possibly so me local christi a n radio stations, and most importanty, to their audiences at upcoming concerts . "This su mm er we will try to get to church camps a ll over the state," said Mersch . "Just having a record to sell at your co ncerts is very beneficia l. If people like you , they' ll buy yo u. Th at's the whole id ea." The date of release for the record is undeterm in ed. As of now, they h ave compl eted the rhythm tracks a nd are ju t beginning on the vocals. With co mpl etion and a moderate amount of success on the a lbum , they hope more will be on the way. But sti ll , Mersch insists on kee ping things simple. "My ma in goal is to do thi s and get by. I don't have to be a star. This is just something I like to d0. "

New newspaper holders installed for 'Telescope' Students and faculty can now pick up their weekly issue of The Telescope in new wooden newspaper holders in several strategically placed spots around the campus. With these new holders, The Telescope feels that the circulation ofthe paper will become more efficient and have a more profession a l-look. Several areas where the h olders have been placed are: on the wall in ES-18 and 19, on the door near the
library, on the stairs to the new admini str ation building, by P-33, by P-17, in the cafeteri a by the cigarette machine , and on the wall by the Music Department's board. The Telescope would like to tha nk Dr. Omar Scheidt, President of the Coll ege, Dr. John Schettler, Assistant Superintendent in Ch arge of Business, and Dr. Kenneth Burns, Dean of Student Personnel Services for their cooperation.

Two co ntractors were involved in the installation of the buildings. One of them , Modulaire L easing Company of Los Angeles which specializes in model buildings, is responsible for putting in the control box.
For over a year now, since the buildings were constructed, the 25 or so clocks have not ti cked one second nor tacked one minute. Th e reason for this non-ti ck-toc k in the clocks is due to a stolen co ntrol box. This co ntrol box cost about $800 and co ntains the wiring of the clocks and th e fire a larm syste m that connects it with the rest of the college's clocks a nd fire alarm systems.
Dr. John D. Schettler, Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Business states, " We kn ow it (the co ntrol box) arri ved and we kn ow it was delivered. But after that we know nothing. We' ve presumed that it was stol en ." The co llege has sin ce been trying to get Modulaire to get a new control box, but it h as n 't h ad much success with the company. It would be a rou nd a $1500 loss , including the
price of the clocks, to the co llege if they don 't get them workin g. But Dr. Schettler remarks , "We haven't lost sight of it. I think we've been extremely patient with the company." Dr. Schettler's office has been writing letters monthly to the compa ny to no avail, but the time may not only be seven o'clock but also the time to act. Th e college co uld take M odulaire to co urt to get them to fulfill their obligation. But for the meantime, the big ha nd will still be on th e twelve and the little one on the seven. The ex pression on th e faces of the clocks and the people who look at the clocks won 't change.
'Unique' works showing now Unique works in plaster, pastel and co ll age by Robin Bright will be show n in the &ehm Gallery until April 17. &rn in New Yor k City in 1934, Bright has studi ed at the Boston Museum School, the University of New Mexico , and the Munich Academy of Fine Arts and has been in several different exhibiti ons for the past four years. His works are quiet, passive and economi cally co mposed, a nd the display in the current exhibit refl ects thi s by showing only 22 of hi s works in a s impl e, restrai ned manner. These pieces cover the past ten years of hi s work. Of Bright's talent, Boehm Director Russell Baldwin states, "He is private, sensual . .. He is quietly seductive."
